30 Year Conforming Mortgage Rates Hit New Low for 2017

Mortgage rates continue to move lower, defying predictions of higher mortgage rates in 2017. In fact, mortgage rates today just hit a new low for 2017 and are only about 50 basis points above an all-time low set in 2013. Conforming 30 year mortgage rates hit a low of 3.76 percent today, down from last week's average of 3.81 percent.

The latest catalyst driving mortgage rates lower was a weak May jobs report showing job creation of only 138,000 jobs, less than the expected number of 185,000. This news sent bond yields lower and in turn sent average mortgage rates lower.

10 year bond yields are lower again this morning falling 5 basis points. This decline will put additional downward pressure on mortgage rates. 30 year rates will possibly fall below 3.70 percent by tomorrow or Wednesday.
